Wicked Cool Vinyl & CDs

Review: Former Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe formed Demolition 23 in New York in 1993, and their sole album should be considered essential listening for any lover of that ramped up glam-punk sound. 'Nothin's Alright' was an absolute earworm of a lead single from the album, but throughout there's stomping, singalong anthems to get your strut on to. Shockingly, this is the first time the album has ever received an official vinyl pressing, so don't expect this one to hang around once the Hanoi faithful catch wind of it.

Review: Monsters and Angels is a welcome comeback album from Nervous Eaters. The edgy Boston punks formed back in the mid-1970s and were the house band at a local punk rock club, The Rat. They played with legendary names like Patti Smith and The Ramones and has something of a hit in '76 with 'Loretta.' They eventually called it a day in 1981 though have reunited over the years. The line-up that can be heard on this new album first came together in 2018 and continue to make good new tunes today. There is no shortage of energy and invention here so welcome back.
